Just what was needed

A huge congratulations to TaylorMade staff player Justin Rose on becoming Olympic champion and also to Henrik Stenson for pushing him all the way to victory. Matt Kuchar played his part and in reflection will be disappointed that he didn't manage to birdie any of the closing holes; still a mightily impressive closing round of 63.

The world's top players who decided that using the excuse of contracting the Zika virus must be kicking themselves for missing what will become one of the biggest events in the golfing calendar. The thought of being part of the Olympic team, going to the opening and closing ceremonies and everything that goes with being part of the biggest show on earth must be a motivating factor for the best players to be present in Tokyo in four years' time?
